Street children facts:

  • There are an estimated 100 million children living in the streets in the world today.
  • Children living on the streets are especially vulnerable to victimization, exploitation, and the abuse of their civil and economic rights.
  • International indifference to the problem has led to continual neglect and abuse of these children.
